Things of interest
that might fit the following - According to Blavatsky, in
Mundania people change but the environment stays the same. In Faerie and the
Afterlife people stay the same but the environment changes. People get what's
coming to them. Though pretty much everything in the blue country
is in shades of blue, in the red country only wildflowers and eels are red? Red
is merely the dominant color in decoration. A Munchkin grandmother made that quilt when blue
was merely a favorite color? Servants are sometime rebellious or impudent? If no
economic necessity is now involved, though not earlier, why would someone who
is rebellious or impudent choose to be a servant? Shaggy Man says there are two yellow brick roads.
He may not realize that if things in Oz change, Dorothy's story of her
adventures need not have happened on a different road even though there are no
chasms on the yellow brick road he knows. In Oz people live where Ozma tells them to. Some
plow and raise grains and fruits and vegetables. Others chop wood or fish or
herd the sheep and the cattle. Mooing of cows waiting to be milked. The cattle
need taking care of? They can't do for themselves? For supper, choice of planked whitefish, omelet
with jelly or mutton-chops with gravy. Fish seem to be fair game but
mutton-chops? From a tree? Glass cat says dr pipt made her out of glass
because the meat cats drink too much milk. And now she and Eureka are the only
cats in Oz?
